External Grade column (Total column with green tick)

Grade Centre needs to include an External Grade column, a column designated to store the student’s final mark and does not give you the option to delete this column.

At UQ by default a Total column that stores a running total of all the student’s marks (unweighted) is set as the External Grade column. If you do not wish student’s to view this column in My Grades you can hide the column from students or set another column as the External Grade column.
